♪ Song of the Day ♫
Song: "Save Us" by Trouble Over Tokyo
Nominated By: Parsprototo
Date: February 08, 2010
Reason: The first Single-Release of his first professional album Pyramids, "Save Us", is a great song about hope, desperation and faith. It shows some bible-knowledge and seems very authentical to the listener. Along the way, it perfectly shows what T.o.T.-Frontman Toph is thinking of when he's calling his work "Indielectro". A great song, which woke me several times on radio
Album of the Week
Referring to John Fogerty's return to Fantasy Records after his stint with Warner Bros., it's a great compilation album. Combining his biggest Creedence hits (like "Proud Mary" (
Music video on YouTube), "Down on the Corner" ( Music video on YouTube), and "Who'll Stop the Rain?" ( Music video on YouTube)) with some choice cuts from his solo career (such as "Centerfield" (
Audio on GoEar), "The Old Man Down the Road" ( Audio on GoEar), and "Deja Vu (All Over Again)" ( Audio on GoEar)), it's got everything a Fogerty fan needs. Also included are several new live versions of classics like "Bootleg", "Fortunate Son", Almost Saturday Night", and "Rockin' All Over the World". I think it's a great album, and a great companion piece to his The Long Road Home - In Concert DVD.

Free Music of the Week
Harvey Danger's Little by Little...' is just an overall good album. It may not blow you out of the water, but this is quite some good quality music. Of the Indie/Alternative Rock genres, it's just a nice album. Nothing sticks out enough for me to mention it here, but this album is definitely gonna get a few more listens from me.

Editors' Corner
» Wikia
LyricWiki in the old sense of the word has shut down. However, the entire contents has been contributed to this new wiki which is run by Wikia. Wikia has a licensing deal with music publishers, so the project will be able to survive and thrive!
Read more about these changes in The Announcement.
Unfortunately, licensing agreements with the biggest publishers in the music industry require us to no longer offer the ability for programmatic access to LyricWiki's collection of lyrics.
We tried to arrange some way to let API Developers license through us, but this was not possible.
While this is not something we are happy about, it is a necessity in order to finally secure licensing for LyricWiki from the major publishers which will allow the project to survive indefinitely.
For more info, please see the letter to API Developers
Thanks to the concentrated efforts of all the editors who took this project on board, there are now just 19,171 songs needing language identification. So how's about we give it our best shot over the next few weeks to reduce this figure to zero?
For the benefit of all our new editors, here's what needs doing: the language of the lyrics of all the songs found in the above category need to be identified and entered in the language parameter of the SongFooter (N.B. using the English language name).
Happy editing!
